[QUOTE="Hanadarko, post: 3008989, member: 33817"]I kinda just went through this in November with my 2007 Fontaine Renegade. I might have a post here somewhere about that. I used Hendrickson parts directly purchased. They sell an HCV with a built-in-dump (for all 4 air springs) and then I also tied in the dump valve for the rear air springs as indicated in the drawings earlier in this thread The HCV has 2 outputs so I didn't need to "T" off the line before the rear spring dump valve. The HCV with autodump was under $100 and the dump valve solenoid was under $75. (The Fontaine came with a Peter Paul or Peter Pan something valve that shorted and was very spendy to replace) I did have to run a new air line (split off from AHEAD of the reservoir) and buy DOT fittings but it works well. -I hit the switch and it will dump the rear air springs in less than 10 seconds. -I engage the trailer brakes and all 4 air springs drop fully in under 12 seconds. (Nice for loading/unloading heavy coils) :biggrin_25525:[/QUOTE]
